"It feels good,'' Andrews said, per the team's official website. "I feel I get better as the game goes on, more and more carries. Overall the offensive line was solid up front, and I was able to do my thing."

Mularkey said after the game he was pleased with Andrews' performance, but said the two-year veteran needs to improve his work in short-yardage situations.

Andrews leads the team with 290 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Now that he has the starting role in hand, Andrews said both he and the team have big goals for the rest of the season.

"Our goal is to win out for the rest of the season, and this is just one brick for the foundation,'' Andrews said. "We plan on winning out."
